Benefits of Vohra's Wound Care Certification Programs
By earning a Wound Care Certification with Vohra, you will become a wound care expert based on the needs of the clinical environment in which you treat patients. Wound Care is a highly sought-after competency for nurses practicing in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), and for home health nurses caring for patients in the home at bedside.
Nurses with a Wound Care Certification can both assist physicians and treat wounds directly, improving patient outcomes significantly. Not only do trained wound nurses help improve patient quality of life, they help nursing facilities and home health agencies minimize the risk of citations and infractions for pressure ulcers.
Patients under the care of a certified wound nurse rarely need to leave their regular place of treatment to visit wound care centers or hospitals, where such trips often overexert the patient and are expensive for the facility and/or payor.
By developing your wound care expertise, whether as a Certified Wound Nurse in a SNF, or with a Home Health Agency, wound training improves patient outcomes and quality of life, and minimizes the need for costly and often traumatic wound treatment in the long-term. For these reasons and countless others, nurses certified in wound care are a valuable asset to any patient care team.

Hear what our graduates are saying
The program was so appropriate for my skilled nursing background and makes me more confident to handle wounds in the absence of the wound care nurse. I will be recommending coworkers and peers to your program.
Betram Okorocha ADON Cypress Creek Rehab in TX
I feel more confident doing my job, thank you very much for the education and CEUs.

Bianca Gonzalez, BSN, RN, IP Director of Nursing Texan Nursing and Rehab in TX
I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in becoming wound care certified. The course has improved my knowledge tremendously regarding wounds and the proper interventions necessary to promote good healing.
Nicholas Filipinni
The study guide were very useful, and I learned about new dressings that were more economical and very effective. Nurses should take the course because it's interesting and very helpful, the instruction is clear, and the administrators are very helpful.
Ha Guyen
All of the modules that Vohra provides and the exams were not out of reach for me. The program was very user-friendly: it was easy to go from module to module without getting lost. And the knowledge that you gain . . . with medical directors designing this, I don't know that you can do any better than that. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to increase their wound care knowledge!
Amanda Melynyk The Suites - Parker
I was so happy that you had something that was just right for me! The course was very convenient, and I could do it on my own. It covered a wide area of wound care and a whole lot more areas than I anticipated. The lectures were enjoyable -- I was interested, and I couldn't wait to do the next module! I would recommend this course to anyone!
Marilyn Smith Maternal Treasures Parent Care Center
Having a full-time Vohra Wound Certified Nurse on staff, along with the knowledge brought by weekly visits from our Vohra physician, has allowed the Eastgate Nursing & Rehabilitation Center team to continuously provide the highest standards of care.
Stephanie Lessard, RN Eastgate Nursing & Rehab
The Vohra Wound Certification program was an interesting course and it was very helpful. I use the things that I learned in the course and I apply them when I'm out on the floor.
Dawanna White Margate Health & Rehab
When the director of nursing asked me to be the wound care nurse here, I wanted to get wound certified. I chose to complete the online course from Vohra. I got a lot out of the program. The education provided helped me clarify certain wound types. It helped me learn how to clearly identify venous and arterial wounds and diabetic wounds. After doing the reading and looking at the examples, I understood it better. The program made it simple to learn.

- Where is this accreditation accepted?

- How is CPD recorded?
- An individual is responsible of keeping track of their annual Continuing Professional Development activities on a CPD record form and must ensure it is correct, up to date and meets the requirements of their professional body of association.

Once a CPD certified activity has been delivered, the attendee can update their CPD record sheet and attach the associated certificate.
- What are the benefits of CPD?
- CPD helps individuals to regularly focus on how they can become a more competent and effective professional. Training and learning increases confidence, overall capability, and compliments career aspirations.
- Who requires CPD?

These CPD hours are sometimes converted to points, units or credits. The majority of institutions allow members to choose subjects of relevance to them as individuals, a minority also require their members to seek CPD on a range of core subjects.
